摘要:
A nuclear fuel assembly is provided for a boiling water reactor. The nuclear fuel assembly includes a base, a head, and a bundle of full length fuel rods and partial length fuel rods, said bundle extending upwardly and longitudinally from the base to the head. The nuclear fuel assembly includes at least one clamp for longitudinally retaining a lower plug of a partial length fuel rod with respect to the base. The clamp is an additional part fitted to the base, the clamp is at least partially received in a housing provided in the base, and the clamp is assembled to the base by mechanical engagement of complementary assemblies.

A nuclear fuel assembly for boiling water reactor is provided. The nuclear fuel assembly includes a base, a head, a bundle of fuel rods extending longitudinally between the base and the head, a tubular fuel channel encasing the bundle of fuel rods, and at least one fuel channel spacer for transversely spacing the fuel assembly from an adjacent element. The or each fuel channel spacer includes a support having at least one plate and at least one corresponding leaf spring supported by the corresponding plate, the or each plate being fixed to a corresponding sidewall of the fuel channel.

A grid-shaped spacer includes a sheet-metal web having a web aperture formed therein defining two spaced mutually opposite aperture edges. The aperture edges oppose an elongation of an elongate spring which is curved about a direction transverse to its own longitudinal direction and which has a tab that engages through the web aperture at each of two spring ends. At least one of the tabs is snapped into a notch formed in one of the spring edges opposing the elongation of the spring.

The invention relates to a stent with a structure of a biocorrodible magnesium alloy or tungsten alloy, which comprises a multiplicity of web sections connected to one another, wherein (i) the structure has a support structure of a number of first web sections connected to one another, which are designed to perform a function supporting the vascular wall or preserving the mechanical integrity of the stent after an expansion of the stent for a predetermined period of time and (ii) at least one second web section is present, which a) is directly connected to a selected first web section, b) does not perform a function supporting the vascular wall or preserving the mechanical integrity of the stent after the expansion of the stent for the predetermined period of time, and c) has a smaller average grain size than the first web sections of the support structure from (i).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an implant, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, with a body containing metallic material, preferably iron. To control the degradation of the implant, the method comprises the following steps: a) preparing the body of the implant, and b) incorporating hydrogen into at least a portion of the structure of the implant body near the surface. Furthermore, such an implant is described.
摘要:
In a method for heat treating a fuel assembly channel made of zircaloy, the channel is continuously moved relative to a heat-treatment device and, longitudinal sections of it are heated to the beta phase range in an inductive heating zone. The longitudinal section of the channel heated in this manner is than cooled in a cooling zone to a temperature within an alpha phase range. The heat treatment is effected by at least two heating devices, which are spaced apart from one another, operate independently of each other, and each contain at least one induction coil and together form a heating zone. The channel section is first heated using a first heating device and then heat-treated using a second heating device which has less power and in that cooling is effected using a stream of inert gas applied to the outer surface of the channel.
